I'm looking for a script that would allow me to place on my homepage a highlight for the day using SSI. I need it so that it would allow me to put a months worth of events in a file and it places the appropiate one on the homepage for the day.

I was using an events scripti found from here but it gave up the ghost when it reached 2000 as it only worked on the last 2 digits of the date and got confused when the date rolled over.
